But why not add butter when you can ;)
I think it's a better emulsifier than oil/fat rendered from bacon. They dairy quality of it really rounds up the dairy in parmesan.
I am with you on egg yolk only but I almost always end up wasting the egg whites so these days I just use a whole egg.
I made it for dinner today, instead of bacon I slow-fried baby aubergines on low heat in olive oil for about 30 mins.
FUCK WHITE INDUSTRIES HUBS.

Because the nation of carbonara eaters don’t and I’ll trust them on this. If I wanted to make ‘bad French hotel’ carbonara then ... yeah ;-)
Microwave whisked egg whites with cinnamon and brown sugar.
+1 for courgettes in butter though. Dreamy with a sage leaf. 👌🏼

If you use pancetta/guanciale fat you don’t need butter.
I don’t think I’ve ever used butter in carbonara.
Is there a pasta recommendations thread?
